A 21-year-old Adrian shooting suspect arrested last week in Ohio appeared Wednesday in Lenawee County District Court for arraignment. Angel Antonio Rodriguez Jr. was scheduled for a Nov. 5 hearing on charges of assault with intent to murder, carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent, felonious assault and felony firearm possession.

Rodriguez was arrested by federal marshals on Oct. 19 at an apartment in Youngstown, Ohio. Adrian police had asked the federal agents for help in finding the fugitive, who fled Adrian after the early-morning shooting on Oct. 6. He allegedly shot a 21-year-old friend in the chest after they quarreled while driving on Division Street. The victim is recovering from the gunshot wound.
